THE SCHOOL JANITOR.
He Faithfully Attends TO the Work for
Which He is Paid.

The janitor of the public school
says that the TIMES item, charging
neglect of duty on his part, last week,
did him an injustice, in that he no:
only did not neglect his work, but
actually did great more than he was
expected to do. He is paid IS cents
per room per school day-or rs cents
per day for Eve days per week. For
this small sum he is expected to sweep
and dust the three rooms, light three
fires, and carry in an ample supply
of wood. He agreed to do this, aud
does it, and does not complain of the
remuneration, small though it be, as
it does not pay him much over 12a
cents per hour while actually at work.
In addition, he has frequently shov-
eled paths from the sohoolhouse to
the road, and been in the vicinity OF
the schoolhouse on the coolest morn.
ings to look after the little tots and
help them to school. For this (which
he was not expected to do) he has re.
ceived nothing.
The TINES, convinced that q wrong
has been done this man, publishes the
above by way of correction.

THE TRAIN.

Bringing Four Days Mails.
Halt the towns population turned
out to-day to see the new rotary snow
pillow at work. 1t reached the HALEY
depot about quarter past IL, and
left half an hour later, as the express
train reached the water-tank. The
pillow goes right along, at the rate OF
about Is miles an hour, whirling the
snow in the air to the high.h Of 20 OF
rs feet, and throwing it about an
equal distance from the track, or
either side, as the engineer may de-
sire.
Now that this pillow has been seer
at work, the wonder is that, like al
other inventions which amaze by thei
simplicity, it has not been in use fo'
years.
Four days mails were brought il
by the train, and the postmaster an
nounced that the general deliver,
would not be opened till 5 p. 10.

Prices.
To all who are about to buy griz-
zlies for placer mining, perforated
sheet metal work, ore sizers, screens,
etc, the TINES wishes to say a few
words, as follows: Order direct from
the Harrington & King Perforatiug
Company, 224 and 22s North Union
street, Chicago. They own the larg-
est works, manufactured by patent
processes which they own, and their
goods are preferred THE WORLD OVER.
This firm has an enormous capital,
and is above petty swindling and mis-
representation. 1t has, for years,
sold grizzly plates and Other of its
products from the very headwaters OF
the Snake river to Lewiston, and the
first well-groundsd cause of oom.
plant of their goods has yet to be
heard. Being first hands they can
afford to, and do, undersell all dealers
in perforated sheet metals, etc.
For his own sake, and to guarantees
success, the TINES therefore advises
every placer miner and mill owner te
deal direct with the Harrington 8
King Company, Chicago.

1t Gives q Very Good Idea Of the Gold
Belt.
J. S. Childs's map of the Gold Belt
was to have been sent to San Fran.
cisco to-day, to be autographed. It
is 3x5 feet, and full advantage has
been taken of that large size by Mr..
Childs to show the proposed railway
from Haley to Camas Prairie, the
water power, the town of Haley, the
various claims and mills, the roads,
creeks, etc, so plainly that she who
runs may read" The railroad is
traced on the line which will probably
be adopted, to, wit: From Haley to
Gilman, on to Richardson's, and on to
the West Camas, Cablegram, Hidden
Hand, Alaska, California, and further
on to Camas Prairie. The group OF
claims named being the most promis-
ing Of any on. the Gold Belt, the rail.
way will undoubtedly be constructed
to that point first, and it will then be
continued to the Prairie and Smoky
as soon as the company can afford it.
The map will be sent to George W.
Taylor, in San Francisco; and, even
if it should not be autographed, i,
will be of great benefit to US, as il
gives better idea of the lay of the
Gold Belt claims than many descrip'
tons could.

These he will bring to Idaho, and
turn out on his Cottonwood ranch, as
a nucleus for a herd. He will not be
gone over 40 days, as he wants to re.

The Substitute for Sugar.
Phila. Ledger.l

Phila- Ledger.
Saccharine appears from the compar-
ativeiy meagre accounts Of it to be
substitute only for the taste of sugar.
1t must be remembered that sugar is
something more than condiment, and
that its food value, although not large,
is an appreciable quantity. 1t is just
here that the chemists art has so far
generally failed. They may produce,
from inorganic or dead compounds, sub
stitutes for the taste or smell, but their
compounds are almost necessarily slable
and resist the action of the chemical
laboratory of the digestive system to
break them up into fuel and food. 1t
is suggested that saccharine may be
used to increase the sweetness of glu=
cose and allow is substitution for cane
sugar. The practicability of the scheme
depends simply on the commercial pro-
duction of the new principle. Glucose,
in spite of the denunciation it receives,
is as good food stuff as cane sugar, if
not better. Prohibitory laws, similar to
those passed forbidding the sale of oleo-
margarine, may attempt for tiine to
prevent the public from reaping the
benefit of such discoveries, but, like all
special trade laws, will ultimately fail,
if the process prove practicable. So
high an authority as Prof. Remsen, of
the Johns Hopkins University, in whose
laboratory and under whose direction
saccharine was discovered, states his
disbelief in the commercial success of
the manufacture of saccharine for this
purpose. Less well informed people
must wait and see what the German
firla which has aow started the MANU-
facture of the substance will be able to
do. As saccharine is admitted to be 230
times sweeter than cane sugar, very
small amount of it may be expected to
go q long waYs, and the price may be
correspondingly high without render
ing its use as condiment impractical

Facts Worth Knowing.

One thousand women own and manage
farms in Iowa.
All fowls that feather slowly are, it is
claimed, hardy.
Too large pots account for many fail
ures in flower culture.
The Herefords have proven a popular
breed on the western cattle ranches.
Progressive growers no longer feed lit
tie chicks an exclusive diet of corn meal.
Fine butter is luxury and will always
command good price in every city mar
ket.
The Augusta Rattlesnake water melon
is favorably known in both northern and
southern markets.
Tomato, cabbage and other tender
plants are often saved at time Of trans
planting by dipping the roots into manure
water and rich earth mixed to about the
consistency of thin mush.
Profitable culture requires that care be
taken in setting out plants to give sunny
exposure TO whatever delights in heat and
sunshine, reserving partially shaded spots
TO plants that will thrive in the shade.
No lawn can be long maintained in good
order without successive rolling. NOW
ing alone will not secure a good bottom
without that compression which the roller
tends TO give. Rolling ought TO be done
early, before the ground becomes dry.
w. d. Philbrick believes that soaking
seeds, as a rule, does more harm than
good. He says: 1.-The only chemical stuffs
that have proved useful, so far as know,
are the blue vitriol to destroy germs OF

IN THE LANE.

And art thou, then, my heart, too old,
Ever to leap with love again,
To feel the strong blood-torrent rolled
Through heaviDg breast and teeming brain
Is ii no more, my heart, for thee
Lies one unqHestioned ecstaey?
Are faded quite those dim, far days
When music smothered every sound,
When up and down youths happy ways
Fared elaries on eternal round?
Has chill of years killed every Joy
That blossomed for the wandering boy?
These are the trees once known so well
We felt to them all but beknown;
Their very shadow we could tell
From others by the forest thrown.
The same glad song from bush and bough-
As once we heard, we hear them now.
And these sweet flowers beneath my feet,
Their young eyes greet us as OF yore.
The hope, there! Still they think TO NEE
Her glance that shall not answer more;
To US alone il cannot be
They're looking up SO tenderly.
This il the same gray path we took
Behind the slowly going day;
As they do now, the light leaves shook
When evening breezes blew this way;
And there's the glow upon the dome,
And here the COWS are coming home.
All, no, good heart, thou still canst stir,
Still lives the love first bid thee leap:
Still are we at the side of her
They laid away meath yonder steep.
Though clods be on her and stone,
In the dear old lane we're not alone.

How Crime Runs in streaks.

Glancing over the reports as they come IN
here every day from the different districts, it
strikes me very often that everything seems
to run in streaks. In the past three weeks
there have been four or five cases of criminal
assault following each other; then simultane-
ously we had two or three cases of incest on
hand at once. There have been three per
sons murdered with stones in two weeks Two
men, friends and neighbors, have committed
suicide, one emulating the other in everything
except making better job of it. Suicides
always follow each other that way. Let one
person take dose of rat poison, and it seems
that there were two or three people just wait
ing for some one else to lead Off and they go
out by the same route.
It's the same with all ARRAYS Some nights
there viii be in different parts of the city
three or four stabbing or shooting affrays,
and then there won't be a thing for two or
three days, perhaps. Some mornings, look

the whole town was out on a drunk the night
before, and then again there are not more
than three or four here and there in the dis
tricts. There were for two days recently not
less than six crazy people picked up in the
Central district. 1t looks TO me as if at differ
